Urban-Rural Dichotomy

The urban-rural dichotomy refers to the clear distinctions between city and countryside areas. Urban areas are densely populated, characterized by buildings, infrastructure, and a fast-paced lifestyle, often with diverse employment opportunities. Rural areas are less populated, with open land, agriculture, and a slower pace of life. This divide influences access to resources, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, shaping different social and cultural experiences. Recognizing this contrast helps in understanding regional disparities and planning policies that address the unique needs of both environments.
